Treatments
Specialist care in Putney
A specialist orthodontist, a specialist in oral surgery, root canal treatment under the microscope and a periodontal consultant, all at one practice on Upper Richmond Road. Complex care without a referral across London.
Complex care, under one roof.
Most dentistry is general dentistry. When you need more, we would rather you had it here, from people we work alongside every week, than be sent across London. Dr Priti Acharya, our specialist orthodontist, is a Consultant in Orthodontics at the Eastman Dental Hospital and treats children and adults at Ethicare on Saturdays. Dr Yvonne Szyszko, our specialist in oral surgery, lectures and examines at the Royal College of Surgeons of England and handles difficult extractions, wisdom teeth, bone grafts and sinus lifts, with IV sedation for nervous patients.
Dr Ahmed Ali carries out root canal treatment under a dental microscope on every case, including the teeth other practices would give up on, and accepts referrals from other dentists. Gum disease that does not respond to our own protocol is treated by our periodontal consultant. Dr Glafcos Tombolis, who plans and places every implant himself, works with Dr Yvonne where bone needs building first.
The same rules apply here as everywhere else at Ethicare: a written quote before treatment, the conservative option first, and an honest account of the risks and the alternatives.
- Dr Priti Acharya and Dr Yvonne Szyszko, both on the GDC specialist list
- Root canal treatment under the microscope, from £850
- Referrals from other dentists welcome
- IV sedation for surgery
“Loved the service, especially being a wheelchair user. They have made me feel very well taken care of.”
Pay monthly, or spread the cost.
Denplan plans from £24.82 a month cover your routine care. 0% finance is available on treatment with Dr Glafcos.
